I thought I was having early onset dementia! I wanted answers. So I searched for a book that specifically focused on how memory works.

In this season of giving thanks (which happens to be my favorite!), we find the perfect opportunity to explore the profound connection between gratitude and belonging—two powerful strands woven into the fabric of our social existence.
